This past week Dawn and I have been taking short but needed breaks. First we made our way last week Monday accompanied by AK, UJ and Gloria to the Horicon Marsh in the town of Horicon. I have been really wanted to go there since for the last two years, when Dawn and I stopped there on our way back from another road trip to the west of Wisconsin. This time we rented two canoes (the ones in the photograph) and took a kayak for me to try out. After a short drive we got there and once on the water, we made our way through the city as the river makes its way into the Horicon Marsh.
Everything was great, as the river takes you into a nice breathing through the abundant vegetation and great wildlife sightseeing. The only low point of the journey is that at a moment I lost balance in the kayak, getting very personal and close with the marsh, as I dived into its waters. Water was nice, but not only got wet, also lost one of my cameras. Despite that, we did have a great time and hope to repeat it soon.
Then yesterday, we made a picnic basket and took off on the morning just wondering around the Kettle Moraine Park in our way to Oshkosh, where I wanted to revisit the Schettl Sales place I happened to visit few months ago, in order to do some black and white photographs I had in mind.

It was a nice ride as we stop on different places on our way just enjoying a little of "sunday driving". After there (black and white photos being processed later tonight), we drove around few towns, trying to find a place to eat. Finally we made our way to the hiking trail named Terrel's Island Trail where we finally had lunch just listening to water and birds. This place is a great way to unplugged, as you walk into Lake Butte des Morts over this great trail that encloses a rich diversity of wildlife. Not a better way to spend time together on a Sunday. Hopefully we get to do it again soon. Until then...
